It is not that often that I write in French on my blog, but today a force from deep within is telling to proudly write in French, to honour my roots.

One of the most precious principles of France, my France has been attacked: its freedom of speech. Precious lives have been taken away from their loved ones, men and women have been sacrificed.

France is the country that gave birth to me, made me who I am.

Ok France sometimes annoys me, I find her spoilt rotten, temperamental, always complaining. But Today I want to tell her that even if at times I am exasperated I still love her and I am here to support here, even from across a huge ocean. I want to hug her tight and tell her that love and kindness will always win because I want to believe more today than I did yesterday!
